I still mask in the supermarket, pharmacie, labo and docs, waiting area but fewer seem to do so. And have had my 4th jab. Anyone still masking when out and about? Or am I being ultracautious!

It is still the law here for the pharmacies, laboratories, medical buildings, hospitals, old folks homes and public transportation.
I keep mine under my hat and depending on the situation will put it on..
Washing or disinfecting your hands is important too. I keep a small bottle of purell in my backpack and use it after leaving the supermarket, atm, etc...

It depends where we go, if places are crowded then yes but otherwise we've stopped wearing one.

I'm still masking when inside and will carry on doing so until it becomes illegal again. I tend to get every cold that's going round but, since Covid, I haven't had one. For me it's no bother but I can understand others will feel differently. It helps I suppose that I live alone so can set my own rules when it comes to possible infection risks. Round here I'd say around 40% are still wearing them around town.

Yep, we still wear our masks shopping and don't look out of place (well, any more than usual ) and in crowded places out of door. Just had notification that we can have our 4th jabs next month.

We are practically mask free now our Notaires office and dentist are still mask on zones. Yesterday after hand shaking with brits they told us they had covid back in March after visiting the UK. People we had lunch with last Saturday have the sniffles and sore throats we are still fine but they were staying in a hotel that weekend. Are we happy mask free not really like davesomeone above we have been colds free since the start of the pandemic.

Out and about I don't wear a masque but when in any shops, market, supermarché it's masque time. And now always an FFP2 masque. More protection for me.(hopefully)

WB, like you we still wear them anywhere indoors here in the UK (besides in medical settings where they are still required) despite having had our fourth jab, and a lot of other people do too. If we were in our apartment in France we’d be wearing masks there too.

We still wear them in all indoor situations and when answering the door. Our postie, bless her, still wears one when needing a signature for a delivery. About once a month we visit a vide grenier and a charity shop. Masks on. Last visit I only spotted less than half a dozen other masks.
I haven't had a cold at all since coming to France to live. I spend as much time outdoors as possible and don't have central heating, etc. Could be a factor, or the fact that we have little social interaction and always avoid children. Anyone we know that visits UK invariably comes back with a cold or similar.

Pharmacies, doctors and hospitals all insist that masks are worn here. In the supermarket if it is crowded I do wear a maask but will admit to forgetting a coupe of times at quiet times.

I never wear one now and I don't even have one that I could wear having thrown them all away. Being on a low income the government have sent me no less than 3 sets of 10 masks of differing forms, all of them were pretty useless, none had been made to fit anatomically like the FFP2 masks I had for bricolage well before Covid.
Now that everyone is vaccinated who allowed themselves to be it needs to circulate freely to give naturaly immunity to those who refused the vaccination (their choice and I have no problem with it) so I am doing my bit.
I have just had the invitation for a 4th booster dose, I wont be having it, 3 is enough for me and it said that if you have had covid subsequent to your vaccinations then you dont need it so I will most likely get my immunity boost that way if I havn't already.

I still see people driving their cars alone (no passengers) while wearing masks, no passengers and all the windows closed, aircon will be on probably recirculating & not fresh air as its very hot here at present.
I saw several today & its something that has always made me chuckle, all the more now.
